Phoenix Quattro2 - Large Conference Room Speakerphone
[MT 301]
The Quattro2, with its unique audio capabilities and USB connectivity, is designed for large conference room settings. At the same time, its small and sophisticated design makes it the perfect solution for medium size conference rooms as well

There is no other speakerphone with such an extended audio pickup and audio broadcasting range. It is brimming with advanced and complicated technology on the inside but yet very simple and intuitive to use and operate. The Quattro2 is offered in several different versions, each version includes, in addition to the USB interface, a secondary interface.

Networking Your Quattro With PSTN Interface
For VoIP applications the Quattro2 connects directly to your computer through the USB port and works right out of the box. No installation or drivers required.
At the same time the Quattro2, when equipped with PSTN interface, connects directly to your telephone line and communicates with your PBX in a manner that guarantees robust and optimum performance. A three-way bridge can also be created between your computer, your conferencing room, and your telephone line. This opens many more possibilities to serve your conference needs.

Ease of use
The Quattro2 offers three methods of managing your telephone calls. You can either use your own phone connected through the Quattro2 (see diagram), use a software based dialing utility (avaiable for free on our website for Windows users), or purchase an external dial pad from us. When using your phone, all of your company directory numbers, speed dialing, and conferencing calling features you currently use, are used to make a call. Just initiate the call from your own phone and press one button on the Quattro2 to move the conference over. There is no learning curve or missed feature sets. Everyone is productive the moment they enter the room. This configuration allows you to use your phone for better privacy.

A better meeting experience.
There is an amazing amount of technology built into the Quattro yet it is about half the size of competitive units that do less. Unlike other products that utilize their multiple microphones by gating one of them at any time based on the signal level, the Quattro2 uses all of its four microphones concurrently with a “beam forming” technology. In simple terms, the Quattro2 uses its microphones to develop a beam directed at the person or persons speaking. Our “Beam” is not just looking for the loudest signal it is actually checking for noise, reverberation, and stray non-voice sounds like key strokes and door slams, and then works to eliminate them. If more than one person is speaking at the same time the Quattro2 will effectively create several beams and mix them together in a sophisticated way based on each beam’s “Signal (voice) to Noise Ratio”. This is being re-evaluated thousands of times per second to ensure the best and cleanest possible signal is being sent to the far end.

We also provide high definition, wide band audio onto networks that accept it. Typical phone lines and most of our competitors in this category have frequency responses of approximately 300 to 3500Hz which lack dynamic range and sound flat. The Quattro2 provides 20 to 8,000Hz for a full sounding conference including all of the voice inflections and nuances that provide for a much more natural and productive meeting experience.

We built the Quattro2 with the best in class echo cancellers that provide true full-duplex communication. Most other products either compromise the full duplex performance, limit the loudspeaker sound level, or design the microphone as far as possible from the speaker. Our echo cancellers work in the confined small space that the Quattro2 is packaged in and with a sound level which is about four times louder than any other product you have experienced before.

The Quattro2 is versatile and adaptable
USB Interface - All Quattro’s come standard with a USB interface. That connectivity is designed for Internet phones, VoIP networks (also known as soft phones), and desk top video conferencing. But all Quattro2’s also have a second interface port that allows you to configure your phone to other types of networks or devices.

PSTN (Analog) -
If your office or conference room network is currently PSTN (analog) then order your Quattro2 with the PSTN interface module. Phoenix offers a PSTN interface that support one line or two line connections.

Audio for Video - If you want to hook it up to a Video Codec than order it with the Video Interface Module.
Digital Phone System - If your office or conference room network is currently a digital phone system then order your Quattro2 with the Digital Phone Interface module.

Daisy Chain – For larger rooms or conference rooms that have unique applications like training rooms with separate tables the Quattro2 can be daisy chained together. There is no practical limit to the number of units you can chain to cover any shape or size of room; all you need is a Daisy Chain Module (internal or external).

Upgrade Path – Quattro is the first and only conference phone that can adapt and grow with your infrastructure. Quattro2’s unique communication interfaces come as built-in modules that can be replaced at any time by an approved dealer or Phoenix Audio.

Power to the Quattro -All the secondary interface modules, whether PSTN, Video Codec, or Daisy Chain, are equipped with a rechargeable battery. This unique feature reduces the number of wires on your conference table to a minimum. You no longer have to connect your speakerphone to the power supply in order to use it with your phone.

Other audio systems have you designing your room using the theory that the furthest person from a microphone is not more than twice the distance than the closest person from a microphone. It was done to try and keep the timbre and volume of participant’s voices in check. Quattro2’s sophisticated algorithms handle room acoustics so well you can put away your tape measure for good and place the modules where they make sense for you.

How to order
The Quattro2 can be ordered in its base configuration (USB only) or configured with the additional interface built-in.
Internal interface modules can be ordered separately as kits for configuration.
Phoenix also offers several accessories like an external dial pad, cables for the digital phone’s headset jack and more.

Orders for the Quattro2 can take between 8 and 10 business days for delivery. Please contact ITmadeSimple for full pricing and details based on your requirements.
